If you want to take advantage of the very latest technologies, you'll need an advanced HDMI cable like the AudioQuest Forest. It's rated "High Speed with Ethernet," so it can carry the highest-resolution video available — all the way up to 4K at 60 frames per second. Connecting your components with AQ Forest is a great way to prepare your system for the most cutting-edge features available today, as well as what's on the way.

Supports 3D TV and 4K

Forest is one of AudioQuest's most affordable HDMI cables, but it's made with premium materials throughout to maximize the crystal-clear picture and sound quality available from the latest high-definition digital sources. All AudioQuest HDMI cables up to 10 meters are capable of transmitting 100% of the data required for all of HDMI's current audio/video features including 1080p and 4K video, 3D video from Blu-ray, and multichannel high-resolution audio.

Silver-plated solid core conductors for better signal transfer

AudioQuest is known for their superior build quality, and these Forest HDMI cables are a perfect example. They use high-purity copper, solid-core conductors plated with a very thin layer of silver. High-frequency HDMI audio and video signals travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductors. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. It's a smart, cost-effective way to build a very high-performance HDMI cable.

Product Highlights:

"High Speed with Ethernet" cable design

supports HDMI version 1.4 and 2.0 features at lengths up to 10 meters:

maximum bandwidth of 18Gbps

1080p and 4K video @ 60p

Audioquest Forest HDMI cable

Just picked up a Sharp 70" 4K from crutchfield and also a 2m Audioquest Forest HDMI cable. These are a step up from the Pearl as it has silver conductors. Works great to connect my Oppo bluray and DISH satellite box.

Great cables

These were a great upgrade from my old ones. One from my cable box to my A/V .One from my A/V to my Blue Ray DVD and one from my A/V to my Sharp television.

Pros:Really improved the sound thru my Polk Audio speakers.( Have a 7.1 system with a Velodyne Sub.) The colors are so much brighter & the details are so much clearer. Also using a Denon Amp.. The separation thru my speakers is awesome !!

AudioQuest "Forest" HDMI cables

I was using a no-name set of cables, trying to save a buck. Picture and sound were good, but i wanted to see if I could get more from a better cable. With Crutchfield's liberal return policy, I decided to give these cables a test drive. Smart move! My picture DID get better. Sharper, better contrast, more enjoyable. Sound picked up a little bass. If you spend the time and money to set up a home system, don't skimp on the cables!

HDMI AudioQuest Forest

I bought the 2m HDMI by AudioQuest in Forest to go with my Panasonic Viera TCP50GT30 television. I learned my lesson years back by using the supplied cable and getting a snowy picture. I bought quality cables and the snow vanished. From that point on I only use quality cables!

AudioQuest Forest is great

High quality cables provide EVERYTHING you need to hook-up your A/V gear. I'm set for a while because these cables are the latest and greatest for a reasonable price compared to the competition. Very satisfied with all Crutchfield does before and after the sale.

Hands-on research

Product Research

Features

Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors: Solid conductors eliminate
strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors
are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like HDMI audio and video.
These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the
surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the
performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much
closer to solid copper cable.

Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation: Any solid material adjacent to a
conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit
board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then
released as distortion. Forest HDMI uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene
Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss
and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it
causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.

High Speed Data Capacity: All AudioQuest HDMI cables up to 10 meters
(32.8') meet or exceed the 10.2 Gbps maximum data rate for HDMI and are approved
High Speed cables. This means that all AudioQuest cables up to 10 meters are
capable of transmitting 100% of the data required for all of HDMI's current
audio/video features including multichannel high-resolution audio, 1080p and 4k
video, and 3D video from Blu-ray. All AQ HDMI cables will deliver 100% of the
data required for 120Hz/240Hz/600Hz displays.

Note: AudioQuest HDMI cables which are 12 meters (39.3') to 20 meters
(65.6') are Standard
Speed with support for up to 1080p (not 4k).

HDMI 2.0: All AudioQuest High Speed HDMI cables (up to 10 meters) are
capable of transmitting 18 Gbps signals, including 4K@60p and 4K 3D, when used
with HDMI 2.0 electronics.

ARC & Ethernet Enabled: AQ's HDMI cable supports ARC (Audio Return
Channel) which allows an HDMI-connected TV with a
built-in tuner to send audio data "upstream" to a surround audio system,
eliminating the need for a separate audio cable. The AQ HDMI cable also adds
high-speed networking to it HDMI link, allowing you to take full advantage of
your IP-enabled devices without a
separate Ethernet cable.

Directionality:All AQ HDMI cables are
directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of
metal conductors used in every AudioQuest HDMI cable. All signal conductors
controlled for digital-audio direction in AudioQuest HDMI cables, and care is
even taken to run the conductors used in the Audio Return Channel in the
opposite direction to ensure the best performance for that application. Arrows
are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality.
